6 weeks ago they updated all their logos and signage to say max in grey instead of purple. Now they’re updating all the same collateral again to add “HBO” back.
That marketing and brand team has to be the biggest clown show of all time.
He’s running on “offer a bed first, then you get penalized if you don’t accept the offer.” A lot of people in CA like the idea of offering help, then penalizing if you refuse to accept it.
Problem is, people don’t understand why the big cities have so many unfilled beds. Many shelters are dangerous and or cause you to lose your belongings.
The big thing that gets left out of these discussions is shelters. Newsom’s stance is that encampments should only be illegal if indoor shelter is unavailable.
At face value, that doesn’t sound entirely unreasonable, but if you dig deeper, you’ll learn that a lot of indoor shelters endanger the wellbeing and belongings of unhoused people.
IMHO, for any of this to work, shelters need to be evaluated for their ability to provide a safe and caring environment, and if those shelters don’t hold up, a county shouldn’t be able to count those places as beds.
TL;DR: Newsom is arguing that people will be offered a bed first, but a lot of those beds are more dangerous than the street. And people need to start calling that out.
This tantrum, brought to you by an old rich man who didn’t like the water pressure in his Vegas penthouse. It wasn’t strong enough to blast the layers of orange makeup off his neck vagina.
Is that “hey” as in “Hey, I think this legislation is stupid, but yes, I never drink water and bathing my teeth in high pH drinks all day long”
